National Academies produce briefing for Committee stage of Higher Education and Research Bill

The UK National Academies: the British Academy, the Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering, have produced a briefing seeking clarification on aspects of the Higher Education and Research Bill.

The briefing includes a list of probing amendments for the Committee stage of the Bill process. Probing amendments do not seek to make changes to the wording of the Bill, but trigger a discussion during Committee stage for clarity or explanation on existing points in the Bill.

The Higher Education and Research Bill was introduced to the House of Commons in May. It includes proposals to create a new research and innovation funding body, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), as well as changes to the higher education landscape in England, as outlined in the White Paper Success as a Knowledge Economy. The UK National Academies produced a map of the proposed changes, available here.
